LabVIEW Lesson Manager
August 2007, 372299A-01
The LabVIEW Lesson Manager provides an easy-to-use graphical interface that an instructor can use to organize and present custom or example VIs to students or novice users. When you launch LabVIEW with the Lesson Manager window, students can navigate through classroom laboratory examples (labs) more easily. A lab consists at a minimum of a LabVIEW project file (.lvproj) and main VI, but a lab also can contain other LabVIEW and non-LabVIEW files.
Refer to the Customizing and Using the LabVIEW Lesson Manager manual, available by selecting Start»All Programs»National Instruments»LabVIEW»LabVIEW Manuals and opening LV_Custom_Lesson_Manager.pdf, for information about how to organize and present example VIs.
The Lesson Manager window contains the following components:
- Open Lab section—Opens labs that the instructor provides or copies a lab and opens the copy.
- New Custom Lab section—Creates labs for the target device or the host computer.
- Open Saved Lab section—Opens a dialog box to browse for labs that you save. Select My Labs in the pull-down menu to open the My Labs directory on the hard disk. Select Browse to Last Folder Opened in the pull-down menu to browse for LabVIEW projects in the last directory a user opened with LabVIEW.
- Test My Hardware button—Runs a quick diagnostic test to make sure the host computer can connect to the target device and the device is operating properly.
- Quit button—Exits LabVIEW. Make sure to save any projects or labs you create or change before quitting LabVIEW.
- Help button—Opens the LabVIEW Help.
To navigate this help file, use the Contents, Index, and Search tabs to the left of this window.
